Unique, colorful, heavy, instrumental music from a Canadian quartet from Winnipeg that fuse elements of noise and brutal prog with a big helping of Canterbury-style jazz/rock. It shouldn't work, but it does. Good stuff and definitely highly recommended...

This isn't new for us, but this is an essential , essential classic from ground zero of electric jazz into rock. This is $5.00 and if you don't own it, you absolutely need this.

What can I say? The Mahavishnu Orchestra's 1st 3 albums represent to me all that was good and holy about fusion's heyday. This was the last of the three and my favorite of their albums. Recorded live in Central Park, NYC on August 5th, 1973, it makes it into the pantheon if only for the incredible, 20' long "Dream". Good..

An insane price on 5 albums by one of the greatest bands of all time. You get the three fantastic releases by the original band (The Inner Mounting Flame, Birds of Fire and Between Nothingness and Enternity - albunms that just are bursting with...

An entire studio album lost for 25 years. The follow up to Inner Mounting Flame and Birds of Fire. This is true. This is the lost studio album of the the tracks that the band decided to release in live form (Between Nothingness and Eternity) as their final studio album. But someone realized what this was in 1999 and the tapes from June 25-29, 1973 were exhumed, 20-bit remastered and released. And, while I am happy it came out, for me, I can see why they ultimately decided to release the live versions...

Maheux is the drummer for Spaced Out, but this very fine solo work proves he's much more than that. Using drums/programming and joined by upright bass, violin, piano/keyboards and trumpet, he's created a space-age jazz album, one that has a little bit ...

''One of the unsung heroes from the early days of minimalism, David Mahler has been making music since the early 1970s. A master of the tape recorder and the razor blade, his pieces are legendary and (as is often the case with experimental composers,) ...

Quite good, very 70s sounding jazz-rock from Brazil. I guess this doesn't exactly break any new ground, but if you like to hear that classic guitar and keyboard led jazz-rock sound (this reminded me a bit of Energit, among others), this is a nice disc...

"Maksymenko plays drums with the force and power of a thousand supercomputers, he composes with the originality of a team of duck billed platypuses writing a sequel to Gravity's Rainbow, and he's more fun to listen to than Disneyland."-Henry Kaiser.

This is a collection of some of the very small but very great work by drummer/composer Michael Maksymenko, best known - if at all - for the amazing album and EP he did with the trio Kraldjuranstalten.
It collects eight tracks by Kraldjursanstan...

“'New Artifacts” documents a thrilling concert in Brooklyn by Tony Malaby, Mat Maneri, and Daniel Levin. The performance captured here transformed the listeners in attendance that evening, bringing them into a creative world open with possibilities. Now, with this recording, Malaby, Maneri, and Levin invite you into their narrative of sound. This is music rich in gesture, and a music that is lyrical at its core. Its lyricism does

Tony Malaby - Tenor and Soprano Saxophones
Ben Monder - Guitar
Michael Formanek - Double Bass
Tom Rainey - Drums

Great, swinging, moderately ‘out’ jazz, with everyone playing their brains out and Monder playing much more aggressively then he often does!

First-ever reissue of this fairly shockingly odd, 'psychedelic', instrumental album, which was recorded very early: August 17, 1966. Think about what was going on in music at that time and then listen to this and be very surprised...
